I have a problem when I run xinit from a textual (console) login
my backspace key doesn't work correctly in an xterm.  Even when I 
try to set it with gtty erase.  It doesnt delete the characters on the
xterm, but it doen move the cursor back.  Works fine when loading from
xdm.  Whats up with this?

Also, I just installed XFree86 1.2 and my scroll bars are messed up?  I saw
that someone else poseted with the same problem but that was a while ago.  What's
the deal?
